BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Yesterdays Proceedings of the SOuJhern
Convention at Louisville.

Yesterdays Proceedings of the Southern
Convention at Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May THE South
ern Baptist convention met to-day with
Rev. DR.. Nell in the chair. DR.. G. c.
Billings of Philadelphia read an address
on Bible work and colportage. He re-
viewed the establishment and failure of
the Southern Baptist publication
societies. He also devoted considerable
attention to the editorial work of
the Baptists, and then urged the hearty
support of the American Baptist Publica-
ton Society. He said it had done a great
work in furnishing cheaper bibles and
other books. A part of the benevo-
lent fund had been taken, and the embez-
zler was in the penitentiary.
There had been one other
slight misrepresentation, but this
man had been hunted down. We need
for the Bible, he said, at least $4,000.
There are places reported by colporters
where in whole communities no Bible is
to be found. His argument was that
local publication societies could not do
the works as we'll as the great national
society, and he wanted no longer to see
states that receive shipments of Bibles
and books worth SIS return contributions
to the secretary ranging only from $I2
to $50.
DR.. George G. Larimer of Chicago,
came forward as the representative of the
Baptist Home Mission Society, with it's
headquarters in New York. He said the
Home Mission board had carried on work
in the past year in forty-1ve states in
Canada, Alaska and Mexico. There were
878 laborers; of these eighteen were in
the eastern states, thirty-two in the
middle, l40 in the southern and
$50 in the western. They
were maintaining seventeen schools
for cOlored people, Indians and several
Sunday-schoOls for Chinese. The mis-
sionaries are Of ten nationalities They
had erected in the year sixty-tWo church
edifiCes. Their receipts for the year were
$572, 50003
DR.. George B. Eager of Virginia read
the report OF the com n1ttee on missions
in papal countries. It first reviewed the
work in Mexico. In Coahuils aIOne there
have been fifty baptisms and $50 ready
for baptism. There is line of missions
from the Rio Grande to the Pacific. The
missions have been extended from Goa
hula south through three states. It is
proposed TO establish in Mexico literary
schools in connection with the missions.
In ItaIy there are twelve evangelists and
there have been twenty baptlsms with as
many more seeking baptism. Attention
was called to the defence made
in the italian Parliament by member OF
that body. The priests, he said, are call
ing secretly for the Bible. These books
had gone far toward producing a settle
ment in favor of thoughtful personal
Christianity, which had it's reflex in the
revolt Of DR.. McGlynn and his followers
in this country.
Dr. Powell, missionary at Satillo, Mex,
spoke Of the work IN his field.

A New Scheme.


NEW YORK, May An Atlantic special
to the World says: "For sometime
strange rumors have been current in poll
tical circles in the south of movements
which would give an entirely new phase
to present party alignments. Prominent
Republican leaders have been visiting
each other and making trips to the north
where they meet men still higher in party
leadership. Several months ago one OF
the best known Republican leaders Of this
section made an alleged western trip.
Five days later q letter was received by a
friend dated Augusta, in which he stated
the politician had changed his course.
The party who received the letter
allowed it to be seen. He said: TT would
not do for our scheme to become known
vet, but we intend to throw the Demo-
Gratis by move which will leave them
GREATNESS. Blaine is the man to make it
8 success. If we get it into shape New
York may 60 to the winds
In vain was he pressed for further
explanation. He would only say, "Wait
and you will see." 1t was
Just after this that Mr.. Sher-
man made his southern tour,
tarrying with Malone on mis- way down
and complimenting Governor Taylor of
Tennessee on his way back. Then, as q
further preparation for the events to
come, W. D. Kelley of Pennsylvania,
congressman, has been spending the win
ter in Alabama. He was there when
Congress opened and fastened
back when Congress adjourned.
His speech in Rome, Ca,
one week ago was clever appeal to his
Democratic audience Distinguished
Republicans went thither to hear him
and kind of political love-feast was
held. Yesterday the correspondent of
the World had long conversation with a
Republican of the widest reputation, who
is invited TO national consultations in
that conversation. The whole scheme OF
political manuvering in the south was
made plain. He said it had been
slowly dawning upon the Republican
leaders that elections can no longer be
carried on the sectional issue. It is
hardly possible we could rally the Irish
as we did. Now the plan is to strike for
the south. Leading southern Republican
leaders have taken to the idea and insist
that in this move lies the salvation of the
Republican party. The whites are al
ready divided on the prohibition issue.
There are Democrats in Georgia for
instance who despise Senator Colquitt
because he is prohibitionist. There are
others who loath Senator Brown because
he is an anti prohibitionist. In Texas
you have right now an example of the
divisions which this question has caused.
Then the tariff question has pushed it's
way into southern politics. The northern
districts of Alabama, four districts IN
Georgia, four districts in South Carolina,
and fighting chance for all in Tennessee
and North Carolina are claimed by the
tariff advocates under the new order of
things,

A Woman c Dgs to a Convict for Eighteen
Years and Finally Secures His Pardon.
NASHVILLE, TENN, May 7.-Eighteen
years ago the doors of the state prison
closed upon Frank Riddle of Maury
county, who had been sentenced to life
Imprisonment for murder. There were
doubts as to the guilt of Riddle. The
trial resulted in his conviction, and the
defendant appealed to the Supreme court,
which granted 8 new hearing. A second
verdict against Riddle vas entered and
he was sent to the penitentiary. Year
after year passed. One after another of
! tbs life cOnviCts died, and Riddle almost
/ abandoned the hope of obtaining his free
dom. While Governor Taylor was seated
in his office yesterday woman walked
into the apartment and presented to the
Governor petition for executive elem
ency signed by the Iessees and every Off
Ger of the prison, who stated that
Riddles long incarceration had
served the ends of justice. Accom-
panying the petition was a letter
written by the woman who bore it. After
! the Governor had read the documents the
! lady rose and addressing him, said:
| sGOvernor Taylor, when that man was
! dCCuSSu VI luu1uCI L Hoo SuSdSSO W NC
married to him. did not believe him
guilty and did not break the engagement
during the two or three years that the
trial was pending. still believe in him.
During his eighteen years of confinement
have stuck to him. His parents have
T died, his brothers and sisters are all dead
except a sister who lives out
west. The people who were in
! terested in the case have for
gotten him. I am the only friend
he has in the world. My life has been
wrapped up in him. believe in him and
have loved him through all these long
weary years, and want you to pardon
him do not ask you to think him an
innocent man for the sake of two lives
that may yet be happy. l implore you to
| SET him free"
Without waiting to hear the Governors
decision she arose and left the office and
| the capitol. When the Governor had
cleared his eyes of tears he said to Bishop
| Cranberry: "Such devotion and cOnsis-
tency have never seen anywhere. What
ever Riddle may have deserved it does
| look as if that woman ought to have a
chance at happiness"
The prisonerswill be psrdoned.

Frank Mitchell OF Waco, chaplain of the

After strict inquiry it is learned that
